Case Study

Please read the following case study before you begin your project.

Online Groceries

We chose the Peapod Company.

Once organizations have identified the main risks to their systems, they should develop a security policy to protect the company’s assets.

This week for your project, you will be creating a proposed security policy for the online grocery store that you selected. For your assignment, you will need to do the following:

Describe some of the possible risks to the store’s security system.
Draft a security policy that addresses the risks, identifies security goals, and discusses strategies for achieving those goals.
Discuss some of the ethical and potential legal issues for the company and how the security measures that you’ve outlined will help to minimize those issues.
Your paper should be a minimum of 3 full pages long.
*Remember to use proper tone in your paper. You are speaking from a “consultant” point of view. Your audience is the Leadership Team for the online grocery store.

*Make sure to write your paper utilizing proper APA formatting guidelines, and to include an APA formatted title page. Use NoodleBib to document your sources and to complete your APA formatted reference page and in-text citations.

*Grammar, spelling, and the layout of your essay will also be taken into account when grading this assignment.
